Default New Idea

This definitely got me thinking of some potential projects. I'm off to the Dollar General shortly to see what I can do with this.

Hep me out here. I've got a dial up connection. He's suggesting beeswax for making fire starters? What else is beeswax used for?

if you smear this stuff on a cotton ball will it take a spark or do you have to have a lighter/matches to get it going?

Had a quick look in couple of "Cheap" stores in Australia and did not find this product.

Almost funny, but will keep looking as cheap stores are filled mostly with imported stuff.

I really like this idea. Thanks for sharing with us. Since it has a combination of beeswax and petroleum it should work better with the cotton balls. Back to Dollar General.
